SIC Code 4522-02 - Air Ambulance Service

Air ambulance service is a specialized form of medical transportation that involves the use of aircraft to transport critically ill or injured patients to medical facilities. This industry provides emergency medical services to patients who require immediate medical attention and cannot be transported by ground ambulance. Air ambulance services are typically used in situations where time is of the essence, such as in remote or hard-to-reach areas, or when ground transportation is not feasible due to traffic or other obstacles. Air ambulance services are staffed by highly trained medical professionals, including paramedics, nurses, and physicians, who are equipped to provide advanced life support and critical care during transport. These medical professionals work closely with pilots and other aviation personnel to ensure safe and efficient transport of patients. The air ambulance industry is highly regulated and requires specialized equipment and training to operate. Air ambulance services must comply with strict safety standards and regulations set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other regulatory bodies.
